Geochemistry of fine sediment from San Francisco Bay shoals (2012) and tributaries (2010, 2012, 2013) Hand-grab sample Elemental chemistry and weight percent of the less than 0.063 mm fine sediment fraction are reported for surface sediments from shoals, the ebb tide delta, local tributaries, and inland rivers that carry sediment to San Francisco Bay, California.
